Megan Braverman serves as a strategic asset for law, real estate and financial services firms, and is known for her ability to execute successful marketing and public relations programs.
While creativity, tenacity and her passion for the work is the driving force behind Megan’s ability to grow client’s businesses, she also has intimate knowledge of how professional service firms operate. This enables Megan to create campaigns that generate awareness, reinforce credibility and set clients apart from their competition. She keeps firms focused and navigates critical business decisions, such as succession planning, while advancing firm’s business objectives.
As Berbay’s owner, Megan also prides herself on creating a collegial and collaborative environment of skilled and dedicated professionals who are dedicated to creating outstanding results for clients and Berbay.
Megan’s high-level, innovative thinking translates into marketing strategies that maximize clients’ return on investment and advance broader business objectives. Representative work includes:
- Leadership advisory and firm strategy: working directly with owners and leadership on growth, succession, differentiation, internal alignment and marketing priorities.
- Crisis and high-stakes communications: not just press conferences, but advising firms on messaging around sensitive litigation, reputational issues and other high-profile matters.
- Business development and referral growth: creating programs that strengthen referral networks and deepen client relationships.
- Marketing infrastructure and accountability: developing lead tracking systems, processes, team structure and measurement.
- Strategic plans for firms to tap into new service areas and target specific clients and referral sources.
- Comprehensive marketing and PR campaigns to help firms develop a presence in new markets such as Los Angeles, New York and Washington D.C.
- Programs for associate-level or junior staff members to contribute and accelerate marketing and business development efforts.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Megan carries her Midwestern roots with her: a grounded, hardworking approach that shapes how she leads Berbay Marketing & PR today. She graduated with honors from the University of Dayton in Ohio, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Entrepreneurship, where her lifelong love of creativity found its professional direction.
Since childhood, Megan gravitated toward marketing, and she carried that instinct into a career that took her through real estate, education and eventually into the professional services world. As she puts it, “It comes down to loving what you do, and I found that.”
Megan spent over 12 years working alongside her former partner, Sharon Berman, including six years co-running the agency together. She became sole owner in 2022.
Beyond the agency, Megan is a member of the Agency Management Institute and the Legal Marketing Association, and she previously served for nearly a decade as a cabinet member and executive committee member of the Jewish Federation.
Today, Megan leads a robust, respected national marketing and PR agency, bringing the same tenacity, proactiveness, and enthusiasm to every client partnership that got her here in the first place.
